CAS Mix Up May's Monthly Picks

We had a lot of fun using Gelatos and Crayons this month and were so happy to see you playing with them too!  It was hard to choose a winner from so many fantastic entries!
Thank you for sharing your inspirational designs with us!

Our Top Pick for May
Susan (Cat's InkCorporated)

Susan wowed us by using her Gelatos to color the background
and then lifting some of the color through a stencil.  She also used her
Gelatos to color her die cut, layered butterfly.  The bamboo die cut
adds perfectly to the background design!

Congratulations, Susan
Make sure to grab the "Top Pick" badge below.



And more Outstanding Designs

CAS Mix Up May Challnge

Welcome to a new challenge!
Check out the Top Picks from April's Rubber Band Technique challenge HERE.


My Gelatos and Distress crayons were needing some love. It's a different way to add color to our cards. Don't fret if you don't have either. Just raid your kid's (or grandkid's) crayon box.

We have several videos linked below to show examples of different techniques.

Remember to keep it clean and simple leaving lots of open space on your card!
